The 2024 Southeast Alaska Business Climate report was released today! Overall the business climate is strong. Most (83%) of tourism business leaders call the current business climate good or very good; while nearly three-quarters (73%) of seafood leaders call the current Southeast business climate poor or very poor. Southeast business leaders continue to identify housing as the top obstacle to economic development and critical for creating a vibrant business climate in the region. The housing shortage is deterring young families and workers from relocating to, or remaining in, the region. About a quarter (24%) of regional businesses are actively hiring or anticipate growing their workforce over the next twelve months.
